Book Review of Broken Vows, Mended Hearts: A Bouquet of Thistles / Paying the Piper / Battle-Torn Bride (Harlequin Historical, No 803)

Helpful Score: 2


My Rating: B
This is my first time reading an anthology and it was a pleasant expierience. Though the first two stories surpassed the third by far.
Lyn Stones writing was wonderful. I loved the idea of a hero trying to get some fight from his lady for once, instead of getting too much fight. A wonderful read!

Paying the Piper was interesting and I thought much more creative and original than most. It was set ahead in time from what I normally read, but I loved it nonetheless. I thought that when the hero finds out how the heroin is treated at home he was very, well heroic, but then, he feel a little short. But, still, a great read!

Anne O'Brien's story was hard to follow for me. The idea of it interesting, but there were many flashbacks and...forths, that made it a bit confusing. If I find her in another anthology I'll still read it and give her another go, but I doubt I'll be picking up any of her novels any time soon.

Overall this was a great anthology and a wonderful quick read!
